5 [单选题] This is ( ) the most difficult job I have ever tackled.
A. by rights
B. by itself
C. by oneself
D. by far
题目解答
答案
D. by far
解析
本题考查副词短语的用法,核心在于区分四个选项在句中的语境适用性。关键点在于:
- by far 通常修饰最高级,表示“远远地”或“迄今为止”,强调程度;
- 其他选项(如by rights、by itself、by oneself)均不符合句中强调“最困难”程度的语境。
选项分析
A. by rights
- 意为“按道理”“公平地说”,常用于表达合理预期,例如:
By rights, he should have apologized first. - 与句中强调“最困难”的程度无关,排除。
B. by itself
- 意为“自行地”“本身”,强调事物自身属性,例如:
This machine can operate by itself. - 句中未涉及“工作自行进行”的含义,排除。
C. by oneself
- 意为“独自”“单独”,强调自主性,例如:
I can solve this problem by myself. - 与句中“最困难”的程度修饰无关,排除。
D. by far
- 修饰最高级,表示“远远地”或“迄今为止”,例如:
This is by far the best film I've seen. - 句中“the most difficult”为最高级,需用by far强调程度,符合语境。
